To RD's: What do you charge vendors?

I was curious as to what some of you charge groups to come in and set up shop on race day. We usually do a trade for services such as awards or raffle prizes. For those that are going to come and and promote their business without giving us a service, we charge them $250.00 for the event. This is in Southern Maine. I guess it varies as a local 5K charges 400.00 to put out a booth on race day.
What do you charge?

my wife checked into Cali 70.3 and the booth cost was $1500 for a 10x10 booth, $2500 for a 10x20
.

whoa…big bucks
any others
.

I would guess that’s the top of the market, being that its a NAS race and the actual booth space near the finish line is quite limited in Oceanside.

I am a vendor, it all depends on the race small, local 5k $200. Boston Marathon $3500 for a 10 x 10. Hope this helps!!

$250 for tri booth space here in Central Illinois, though most vendors set up for free since the’re providing a service. A chocolate sponsor…now that is classy! Let’s hear it for female RD’s!! .

Regarding Chocolate…Lindt Chocolate gave us over 1500 pieces that wrapped in orange (Pupkinman looking) foil :slight_smile: The only problem is we have had them for two weeks and cant let our house drop below 65 degrees F or they start to melt. My electric bill from the AC is through the roof trying to keep chocolate cool.
